Copper Beech

This week I spoke with Lisa Michael who has graciously spearheaded efforts at Copper Beech Elementary School to support the Jubilee School. While this post may seem most relevant to fundraising efforts, I think it also has a heart.
Following the earthquake, Jennifer from the For This One organization met and presented to the Copper Beech PTA. As a result of that presentation, the school was able to "adopt" the Jubilee School. The fruits of this informal partnership  have been countless supplies and funding for our school. The heartening component is that we believe this partnership to be a two way street. While we are blessed beyond measure to have their support, we hope that the children at Copper Beech are in turn learning some invaluable lessons about education, volunteerism, and love through their continued efforts.
Doesn't it amaze you how a few people can set something so big into motion? How one parent or one teacher could introduce a lesson at school and from that seed help a child or community in ways we may never understand or see. Wow, just wow!


Copper Beech's latest fundraiser....the "buy a brick" program. Donated paper bricks are helping our new school walls grow in Jubilee!
